Thank you for the reviews. I am planning on adding in the other smashers, from the original SSB. However the first one won't appear until chapter 7. The order will still remain the same from the Old fic. (Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, DK, Caption Falcon, Ness, and then Samus and Fox) Thank you once again for the reviews! Now onto the chapter:
Chapter 3: The dragon beast!
Link was holding Zelda in his arms. She was unconscious, and weakened. If Link didn't get Zelda some help soon she would die, and so would Link. He had been walking in circles for hours. But luckily for him he was at the end of the lost woods. Where it intersected with the Kokiri forest.
The Kokiri were magical folk who had the appearance of children. Many people believed that the Kokiri had eternal youth. Yet it was not true. They were bound with the forest. If the forest fell so would the Kokiri. Right now the forest was now falling, as Master Hand had the medallions, and was polluting them with his evil. The forest was becoming polluted.
Like had now exited the lost woods and stood at the top of a cliff that overlooked the Kokiri forest.
Monsters were coming out of nowhere. The Kokiri children were using Deku sticks to fight off the monsters. They weren't very effective, mainly because, they were rotting by the second, and normally they broke after hitting the monster, at the moment the Deku sticks were breaking as they flew threw the air.
"Link…" Zelda muttered rather weak. "You have to help them…"
Link looked at Zelda. "Most of my energy was depleted with the battles… not to mention most of my inventory… all that I have left is the Kokiri Sword, the Master Sword, and the Biggoron's Sword!"
Zelda looked at the Kokiri's they were losing their battle fast. Link grabbed his sword and looked at Zelda. "Good luck…" She muttered.
Link grabbed onto the Master sword, the slight burning sensation was there. He knew it was from the fragment of Majora that was in him. The Kokiri forest would be destroyed if he didn't do something. The Master Sword glowed with a blue aura and he jumped down to fight the monsters. They glared at him for a brief second, but quickly went back to mulling on the random Kokiri that they were near. "DIE!" Link shouted slashing through several of the near monsters.
Link glanced at the remaining monsters. "GO BACK TO THE SHADOWS FROM WHERE YOU CAME!" Link shouted pointing the Master Sword at them in a threatening manner. Slowly all of the monsters backed up and left.
He then fainted due to exhaustion. Several Kokiri children came rushing over to help up Link. They dragged him across the ground into one of the houses. "He was with a lady!" a Kokiri shouted. Zelda waved her hands and she was quickly rescued by the Kokiri.
Master hand loomed over the crystal structure that Ganondorf was incased in. "That is quite enough…" Master Hand said. "I no longer have any use for you…" Master Hand touched the crystal with his index finger, slowly he absorbed it and Ganondorf fell on the ground with a thud. "I'll let you live… now get out of my sight!"
Ganondorf crawled to the exit. When he got to the doors he used the wall to support himself and pushed it open. Slowly he walked out onto the bridge, and he collapsed into the moat, unconcious.
His body drifted along the moat until it reached the river, and he was going to where all water in Hyrule went: Lake Hylia. It was a miracle that he didn't drown as his armor was causing his whole body to be submerged underneath the water. Eventually he drifted to Lake Hylia.
"WAKE UP!" an old scratchy voice said. Ganondorf could feel his body half emerged in water, while the other half was being poked with a wooden stick. "ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!"
"Of course I am…" Ganondorf said weakly. "Where am I?"
"Your at Lake Hylia!" the old man replied.
"Help me up old man…" Ganondorf said. "Before my armor rusts…" The old man didn't reply to Ganondorf. "Or you could just give me a fairy or a red potion or something!"
"Well…" the old man said. "I do have this blue potion!"
"I'll take it…" Ganondorf muttered. Ganondorf opened his mouth as the Old man opened the bottle in which the blue potion was incased. The old man then poured the potion into Ganondorf's mouth. Ganondorf's eyes opened wide, in horror. It tasted horrible. However it worked and Ganondorf got up refreshed, and with a good chunk of his power restored, that was stolen by Master Hand.
Ganondorf began to walk away. "WAIT RIGHT THERE!" Ganondorf continued to walk, ignoring the old man. "I SAID WAIT!" The old man was now shouting out his lungs. Ganondorf this time turned around to face the old man.
"What?" he asked.
The old man walked towards his house, that was on top of a cliff over looking Lake Hylia. "I have a favor…" He said to Ganondorf. "You see… I'm a scientist and recently I made a discovery… That there are animals in this world known as ChuChu's… now they seem to naturally make potions in their body and now my lab has become infested with them! I need you to clear it out!"
Ganondorf looked shocked. "You need me?" Instantly Ganondorf began to burst out laughing. "I'm sorry… HAHAHAHA… you must think that I will help you? I'm not Link! I don't help the elderly with their problems! I am Ganondorf the king of evil, I create those problems!"
"I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!" The scientist shouted at Ganondorf. "I can pay you handsomely! And I should warn you of the fabled Black ChuChu, it is a mutant and can only thrive in dark areas… such as my lab. But what makes this specimen so special is the ability to regenerate!" this word seemed to of caught Ganondorf's interest. "However… It has one weakness… it turns into stone in sunlight!"
"Well whatever!" Ganondorf laughed. "I'll end your problem!" Ganondorf walked into the house. He closed the door. He walked forwards and tripped over something. He looked and on the ground he saw an old man. On a closer look it was the same one as outside.
"What the hell?" Ganondorf said a little shocked. His eyes widened. He could sense thousands of different presences. Presences that he couldn't sense outside. Which could only mean that he was in another dimension! "Shit…" He muttered. But soon Ganondorf began to laugh. "Heh… I use to set traps like these all the time for Link… Now Master Hand I know you just want to finish the job… Good thing I had that blue potion!"
Master Hand's laugh could be heard. "Fools die quick…" He laughed.
"We're about to see how quick!" Ganondorf smiled. "You set the bait quite well Master Hand. Leading me to a different dimension in hopes of sealing me here! You are pathetic! But I'll give you an A for effort you set it up all to well!"
Ganondorf's body began to pulse. Slowly all of the Chuchus attacked him. Chuchus are rather primitive creatures that look like a bunch of slime somehow supporting itself, they came in 4 colors. Red, Green, Blue, and Black! Each with their own special properties. They jumped at Ganondorf. Ganondorf however was prepared. Dark energy surrounded his hands. He began to punch and kick at the Chuchus. With everyone he touched he absorbed.
"And that takes care of that…" Ganondorf muttered. He took one more glance to see that there was still one Chuchu. The black Chuchu. "Now then… lets see its regenerative powers…" Ganondorf looked around the room on the wall where he saw Majora's Mask and a halberd.
"What's Majora's Mask doing here?" Ganondorf asked himself. "And why do I suddenly talk to myself… Oh well screw it!" Ganondorf grabbed both the Mask and the halberd. He spun the halberd in the air to quickly get accustomed to the weapon.
Ganondorf ran towards the chuchu and slashed vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. "Heh… thought it would be a bit more of a challenge…" the black jelly splattered all over the room. However it slowly went back to where it used to be. The Chuchu had regenerated. "Perfect…" Ganondorf said. Dark energy surrounded his hand and Ganondorf punched it and absorbed the black Chuchu.
Ganondorf reached towards the door. Small cracks of light shone through. Ganondorf just put his hand underneath it. There was a small tingling sensation. "So the light just turns where it shines into stone…" Ganondorf grabbed Majora's mask and put it on, so that it blocked the sunlight from touching his skin. As he walked through the door, Ganondorf made a discovery. "I can… sense where Link is… and Master Hand!" His eyes widened he knew what this meant. Majora's mask was looking for its pieces. Ganondorf could use it as a homing device.
"Old man!" Ganondorf looked around for the imposter. He however was no where to be found. A small rumbling began and Ganondorf looked at the ground. Ganondorf quickly jumped up, and flew in mid air. Beneath him was the dragon that ate the sages. It had become a lot bigger, it was now well over 100 meters in length, and it had dark scales that reflected the sunlight.
"heh… heh… Heh…" the dragon laughed. "I don't know… should I let the sun kill you or the poison in the blue potion! Decisions, decisions!"
"HOW ABOUT YOU LET ME KILL YOU!" Ganondorf shouted. He grabbed the halberd and flew down towards the dragon, and going inside its mouth. Ganondorf attacked by sticking the halberd through the roof of its mouth. A black mist began to come out of the wound and slowly the halberd melted away. "Miasma!" Ganondorf shouted rather shocked. Quickly he jumped out of the mouth of the beast.
Miasma is very acidy, and had already melted away a good chunk of Ganondorf's armor, near his right shoulder, revealing his skin, in the sunlight. Ganondorf winced in pain, as his body slowly turned into stone. Ganondorf was able to force a smile as his body fully transformed, into stone. Now 1/6th of his armor was gone.
"I could squish you like a bug… But I'll wait…" The dragon smiled. "I have other matters to attend to… Like the death of Link!" Slowly the dragon glowed, a bright white light. It shrunk down to the size of a 10-year-old girl. He had now taken form of Saria. The sage of the forest temple.
"AHHHHHH!" Link shouted waking up from his nightmare. It was the same one he constantly had, for the past few weeks. The master sword shatters and from it came 10 million evils. They then consumed the whole planet, in their eternal darkness.
"Link what's wrong?" A voice asked. It shocked Link, he drew his sword, but he quickly realized that it was Zelda, and sheathed his sword. He realized that he was in a different place. A Kokiri house.
"I had the nightmare again…" Link said.
"Nightmare?" Zelda asked. This was the first time she had heard of this new nightmare.
"Yes…" Link said. "I've been having it for a few weeks, and each time I have it, it becomes much more clearer!" Link just looked down at his hands paranoid. "I'm holding the Master Sword… and I know I'm in a fight… this fight is up against this extremely powerful figure… yet… I can sense the sages… Our fight goes on for a few minutes, and then I prepare to do the finishing blow. When the Master Sword shatters!" Link's eyes were filled with horror. "Now normally this is where the nightmare ends… but it just began tonight…"
Zelda looked at Link "So it continued?" she asked. Link just nodded his head in a response. Zelda could see that Link was clearly shaken by this. "Please continue…"
"After the Master Sword shattered a power like nothing I ever felt came out of it… And I could feel something happening in my body…" Link held his hand over his stomach. "There was a great amount of pain in my gut… it hurt! Just even thinking about it brings the pain back…"
Zelda just looked at Link. "Perhaps your nightmare is just simply a prophecy about the things to come…" Zelda forced Link down onto the bed where he was sleeping before. "But right now rest!" She said in a strong stern voice. Link just smiled and put his head back.
"What about you?" Link asked.
"I'm fine…" Zelda said. "They gave me a blue potion!" she walked out of the house, and froze. She could now feel the sages' presence. All 6 of them, they were moving towards the lost woods at an alarming speed. Yet this seemed odd for Zelda. She closed her eyes and concentrated some more. She could sense a dark and powerful aura. One much stronger than the one that possessed her earlier in the day.
She quickly transformed into Shiek and ran into the Lost woods. "She's gone…" Link muttered walking out of the house. Slowly he climbed up the cliff to the Lost woods but when he got there he took a different turn than Zelda had. He was going to Zora's domain.
The dragon disguised as Saria walked through the lost woods. "Grr… They call this place Lost for a reason…" He muttered. "And the very fact that this is her place… it is weakening me…" Several needles went flying through the air, just barely missing the dragon's face. This got the dragon's attention.
"The next ones will hit!" A voice shouted. The doppelganger looked up to see Shiek.
"Princess Zelda… So nice of you to join me!" it smiled wickedly. "How cute… Your protecting Link!"
Shiek just looked at Saria, and grinned. "I think you should show me your true form!"
"And why should I do that?" the dragon asked.
"Because you're just hiding behind a mask!" Shiek replied calmly. "Now then are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?"
Saria smiled. "Its your call Zelda!"
"That's what I like to hear!" Zelda smiled. Sheik fired more needles at Saria, who just used tree branches as a shield. Almost instantly they rotted. "It would appear that your evil power is killing the forest!"
"So what! I care nothing for this place! Now then there is no Link to protect you! I defeated Ganondorf, with relative ease what are the odds that you will beat me?" Saria laughed. Slowly Saria began to transform into the dragon. "Now then Zelda prepare to die!" The dragon charged towards Zelda.
An arrow rocketed through the air and hit the dragon. However the attack was ineffective. The arrow just fell down uselessly. But it stopped the dragon in its tracks.
"So nice of you to join us Link!" The dragon laughed.
Link jumped out in front of Shiek. He now had full stock of weapons. "Zelda…" Link strongly. There was a small hint of fear in his voice. "The nightmare… This is the beast…"
Zelda looked at Link. "I understand" she said. Link held onto the Master Sword. The burning sensation in his hands was there, once again. "Good luck Link!" Shiek said. Running towards a safe area.
"All right!" Link shouted. "Prepare to die!"
"Uh Link… That is a clichéd line!" Zelda shouted from behind a boulder. "Not only that but it has been over used in the past 3 minutes!"
"SHUT UP!" Link shouted back at Zelda.
"I think this forest isn't fit for fighting!" The dragon said, interrupting Zelda's and Link's squabble. "I think we need to go somewhere else…" he smiled wickedly. "But where?"
"I have a suggestion!" Link smiled. "Lon Lon ranch!"
"Very well!" The dragon said. "Your only choosing your grave!"
A blue aura surrounded both the dragon, and Link. They were quickly teleported to the pastures of Lon Lon Ranch. Cows were out grazing. Link got into his fighting stance. He looked at the Dragon. It was the biggest thing that he had ever fought. And somehow he knew that this opponent would be no push over!
The dragon's long tail went towards Link who jumped up out of the way. Grabbing his bow and arrow he quickly aimed up towards the Dragons eyes. The dragon just watched as they failed to even reach the destination. "How can you expect to beat me like that?" It asked in a mocking manner.
"I should have been able to reach that far…" Link said discouraged. "I was able to shoot the sun…"
"Once you were able to…" The Dragon laughed. "I know all about you, Master has been watching you for a very long time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike, in order to get your Tri-Force piece! In fact he created me just for the soul purpose of killing you!"
"Well that won't be happening any time soon!" Link shouted.
"I beg to differ!" The dragon said. Its large tail went flying towards Link with amazing agility. Link tried to avoid by jumping back but he was hit on the cheek, by the edge of the tail. This was enough to leave a small cut. Blood trickled down Link's face. The tail was coming back for a second attack, quickly unsheathing the Biggoron Sword he used it as a shield. Because of the force that the tail hit the Biggoron Sword with, Link flew back, skidding across the ground.
"Ouch…" Link muttered. The dragon opened its mouth wide and out of it came energy flying towards Link. Quickly Link discarded the Biggoron Sword onto the ground and raised his hands a blue aura surrounded him. "NARU'S LOVE!" He shouted. Quickly a barrier was put up around him, protecting him from the attack, for a few seconds. The barrier shattered under pressure, and Link was sent flying to the edge of the ranch.
"And now to finish this… the very same attack that even the great Mirror shield cracked under!" The dragon informed. "Block it if you can!" It opened its mouth and 6 balls of light floated out, and crackled with immense energy. Link just stood there paralyzed in fear.
"Crap…" Link thought to himself. "What am I supposed to do? That same attack destroyed the mirror shield and now it is at least 10 times stronger… He's dead serious… What am I supposed to do?"
"Link!" a female's voice shouted out from behind him. "Swing me!"
"WHA?" Link was shocked. He was hearing his sword talking. "Wait… I'm just having one of those experiences… hallucinating before death" The attack was fired, sending a giant energy beam rushing towards Link. "But right now I'm ready to try anything!" Link held tight onto the Master Sword and vertically sliced the energy, splitting it into 2, and avoiding Link.
"Grr… Damn you Link!" The dragon said rather mad.
"All right! Its my turn to attack!" Link shouted. Quickly he put on the bunny hood and ran towards the dragon. He then pulled out his ocarina and began to play the Song of Soaring, while running. Wings grew out of his back and Link took off towards the dragon. Holding on tightly to the Master Sword he threw it into the Dragon's eye. However quickly Link fell to the ground holding his heart.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The dragon shouted in great pain.
Link was pale. "I haven't lost that much blood…" Link put his gauntlets up to the cut. He was still bleeding. "But… It should have clotted by now… unless… I was poisoned!"
"YOUR SWORD!" the dragon yelled. Grabbing it and pulling it out of his eye. The holy aura began to repel the Dragon, and at the same time the aura of darkness from the dragon was repelling the Master Sword. Eventually the aura of Darkness overpowered the Master Sword and it shattered, as if thousands of pounds of pressure was placed upon it.
"NO!" Link gasped. The shards of the Master Sword fell down onto the ground. And their Link saw it in pieces. A dark energy came out of it and flew up into the air.
"I'M FREE!" it shouted, flying away.
The dragon looked down at Link. "Heh…" It smiled "Now what are you going to do with out your sword?"
"I'll kill you!" Link said. He looked up and his eyes met with the Dragon's. In the dragon's was the look of fear. Yet it managed to laugh.
"Heh… heh… heh…" The dragon laughed. "So that is how it is… You are slowly transforming into Majora's Mask!"
"I AM MAJORA'S MASK!" Link shouted. Link ran forwards and slashed the dragon, with claws that now replaced his normal fingernails. "THIS IS WHAT YOU GET!" Link jumped up right in front of the dragon's remaining eye. He grabbed his Long shot and aimed it back at the ground where the Biggoron Sword lay. He fired it and the long shot wrapped around it and brought Link the Biggoron Sword. Lifting up the Biggoron Sword he gouged out the dragon's eye. But he didn't stop there. He cut the dragon's head off. Blood spurted onto Link, and he was covered with it.
Slowly Link reverted back to his old self. "What happened?" He asked himself, having no recollection of the slaughter. "Did I do this?" he then saw the Master Sword shattered. Quickly he ran towards the pieces.
Link stared at the broken Master Sword. Its shards across the field. From the corpse of the dragon beast came 6 balls of light. They landed around Link. It was the 6 sages. "Link we can re-forge the Master Sword!" Raura said.
"We just need the 6 medallions back…" Impa sighed. "Which is currently in Master Hand's possession…"
"But we are going to have to make do at the moment!" Darunia's loud voice boomed out. "We can get it back to it being a sword…"
"But not until you can get the medallions will it be unable to repel evil!" Nabooru said. "Which leaves us to a bigger problem… even if you are able to get the medallions… you might never be able to wield the sword again…"
Saria looked at Link. "And there is no guarantee that we will survive…"
"We are weakening by the second…" Ruto said. "But that isn't the biggest problem…"
They all looked at Link. While Link stared at his gauntlets. They were stained in blood of the Dragon he slaughtered with his own hands. He had murdered the dragon, with no mercy. And the scary part was… he liked it.
The sun had set on Lake Hylia. And Ganondorf was released from his stone prison. "Damn that dragon… Wait… where is he?" Ganondorf focused as best as he could, to try and find the Dragon. "I can't sense him anywhere! Nor can I sense Link… Or the Master Sword for that matter… all I can sense is evil returning to Hyrule… and lots of it…" Ganondorf walked into Hyrule field "But I best save this pondering for later… there is a more important task at hand…" Slowly Ganondorf began his trek for the Greudo Fortress.
To be continued…
